Congratulations to Cookstown Fr Rocks, on reaching the All Ireland final and good luck from the Plunketts.

Starting from 11am on the Saturday 9th March in the Pavillion. Screening available for males and females aged from 14-35. The cost of this screening is £35 per person. To book at slot at the clinic email corrina.grimes@gmail.com or telephone Kieran Grimes 07795681000 or Aidan Quinn. The lower age limit is 14 years, as the child’s heart is not fully formed until age 14. If screened before this age many more tests would be listed as abnormal, causing undue further testing and increased anxiety. Our upper age limit is 35, as above this age the person is more likely to have problems due to heart disease, rather than issues associated with sudden cardiac death. (We can screen sports people slightly over this age as long as they have no history of heart disease.)

A superb battling team performance saw Fr Rock’s through to the All Ireland Intermediate final when they had the minimum to spare over Mayo and Connacht champions Charlestown at Pearse Park in Longford.

There was wild celebrations in the stands as the final whistle sounded leaving the scoreline 1-8 to 1-7 to Fr Rocks. This was a brilliant team performance which saw every player dig out a result, which ensures the club returns to Headquarters once again for another All Ireland Final, against Kerry champions Finuge on Saturday 9th Feb at Croke Park.
